    Surprised there are not a good few on here by now..
    All I can bring to mind is one played on me when I worked at a printers and early on in the job a 'mate' rang calling himself 'Mr Hardware' (?!) said he was a funeral director, and wanted a quote for business stationery for his firm of undertakers.

    Re: Practical Jokes

    I have contact with urine samples.
    I love it when you secretly prepare a urine bottle with apple juice, keeping it to one side.
    When you have students, you explain about the content of urine, the concentration (aka specific gravity) etc, and then go on to talk about 'head' and 'body';
    Then you unscrew the cap, smell the aroma, and take a quick swig informing them that you "shouldnt really do this but it's the best way to be sure" etc.

    Loads of fun.

    Re: Practical Jokes

    When I was at uni, my mate and I were preparing a curry which included Scotch Bonnet chillies. He had just finished chopping them up when another house mate walked in. He then turned around and asked her to taste these peppers as they tasted a bit off.

    Her reaction was priceless!

    Re: Practical Jokes

    Whilst at uni I bought some black food colouring and borrowed a hypodermic syringe off of my house mate who was a trainee nurse.

    I then proceeded to inject another housemates bananas with said food dye. They were fresh bananas so he was very shocked and confused when he unpeeled one

    Also injected his orange juice which turned a decidedly horrible grey colour and he refused to drink it.

    Also used to shrink wrap my work mates mobile when I was at Game, was very amusing when it rang and he couldn't answer it.

    Re: Practical Jokes

    I stuck my old supervisors phone in a bag and then buried it at the bottom of a plant pot. I had tied a bit of string to it so he could pull it out when he did work out where it was though

    Re: Practical Jokes

    Laxatives hidden in a fresh batch of biscuits is a surefire way of discouraging people from nicking your food

    http://www.funnypracticaljokes.com/funny-pranks.php a few good ones on there!

    There was a great forum somewhere where people shared their best student pranks, some of them were pretty impressive, things like changing the tapes that stores display on their tv screens to porn..

    Supergluing pound coins to the floor in public places is incredibly funny, especially if it's done well so that it's literally immovable.
